2015 Trump Winery Chardonnay 750 mL White Wine

Manufacturer: Trump Winery
Brand: Trump Winery

Our vines are sheltered in the foothills of Carter's Mountain in Virginia's Blue Ridge. Chardonnay blocks are located in the coolest terroirs, elevated between 600 and 650 feet. Chardonnay is hand-harvested early in the morning and whole cluster pressed. The juice is cold settled then fermented in stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation keeps acidity and freshness in this chardonnay while mixing of the lees at the end of the alcoholic fermentation for 1-2 months rounds out the mouth and builds great structure. Aging occurs 85% in stainless steel and 15% in new and 1 year old French oak barrels.

2014 Miranda Lambert Kerosene Pinot Grigio 750 ml Wine

2014 Simple Life Chardonnay 750 mL Wine

Manufacturer: Simple Life Cellars

With another year in the record books, the 2014 vintage came in at the third-largest grape harvest ever, down 8% from the previous year. A mild winter and spring with drought conditions persisting, bud break occurred early. From southern to northern California winemakers have stated that it was an even earlier harvest then years before, starting with sparkling grapes in July and ending mid-October for later ripening varieties. Despite the drought, California will produce another great vintage. Arid conditions have given the grapes a chance to struggle, which thins out the vines and allows the clusters to gain concentration of flavor, intensity and complexity.

2012 The Crusher Chardonnay

Manufacturer: Don Sebastiani & Sons
Brand: The Crusher

In contrast to the challenging vintages of 2010 and 2011, the stars aligned perfectly for Clarksburg in 2012. Clarksburg winemakers enjoyed a long sunny growing season that produced generous amounts of beautiful fruit to work with. Indeed, the biggest challenge of 2012 turned out to be staging the picking and processing, as all the varietals were ready to pick at the same timeâ€”a very unusual occurrence. Clarksburg yields were up and quality was exceptional. All the varietals enjoyed extended hang time, developing great color, concentrated flavors, and finely balanced structure and acidity. 2012 will prove to be an exciting year for wines from The Crusher.
